priceless

a pair of boy's jeans from old navy . . . $16.50
a pair of boy's new balance tennis shoes . . .$39.95 (actually it ended up being $65 because it was buy one get one half off at famous footwear and andrew saw a pair of sketchers that he had to have)
packing a duffle bag for your 9 year old who is heading to camp for three days . . .nerveracking and sad and exciting and scary and incredible.

yes, jordan is heading to science camp with his class on wednesday. when i reminded him that it was this week he gave me a look of tentative excitement. he has never been away like this before but i'm sure he will have a blast. and science camp, are you kidding me? that is right up his alley. but no phone calls, or dinners together or car rides to and from school for three days. trying not to show the sadness.

he gets back on friday and then we go to the dodger game. saturday there is a BIG surprise planned for him and someone else that i am not allowed to say more than that. but i am super excited for that.

til then we are working on a paper mache mask for a book report. lots of fun around here.

oh and by the way, the potty wars have begun. she has won the battle (no potty in a week.) i am wounded but recovering. the war rages on and I WILL FIGHT BACK AND WIN!!!
